The Once and Future Parish

About this book

Few other books have caused as much stir in the Church of England in recent decades as hasFor the Parish. Twelve years on from its publication, in the wake of the Covid pandemic and the 'Save the Parish' movement much has changed, but much has stayed the same. In this follow up to this influential and controversial book, new and already familiar themes are newly inflected in the debates of the present time: principally minster hubs, the 'Emerging Church' programme and the Strategic Development Fund. Alison Milbank challenges the ecclesiology, models of theological anthropology and the analysis of secularism that are present (explicitly or implicitly) in these movements, and offer a striking and encouraging vision of what the parish model could offer to our anxious world.
